After taking her into his embrace, he used his injured hand to tap open a video in his phone.
There were two people in the video—Gemma and Tony.
However, it was different from the one that Gemma had shown Myra. That video began with Tony strangling her but in this video, the whole process, as well as the other scenes, were shown—Gemma tried to seduce Tony and refused to let him leave, giving him no choice but to strangle her before he let her go. After that, Tony’s car was about to drive off but Gemma was seen stomping on the pedal in an attempt to run into his car. To make matters worse, the video that Gemma had shown Myra was soundless, but there was audio in this video that Tony showed her. Therefore, Myra was able to hear every single word that Gemma said.
“Tony, I only want to help you to relieve your needs. I know that Myra is now pregnant, and you… you… Now that she is pregnant, you must be having a hard time holding back your desires. I have thought things through and I know that you like her. I won’t come between the two of you, but I just wish to continue to admire you in secret and to sometimes appear by your side when you need me. I can do everything that Myra can do for you. I know that you won’t be satisfied with only one woman, Tony. A man like you can’t possibly be content to have just one woman. I won’t ruin your family; I just want you to occasionally be with me…”
…
Myra’s face flushed red with anger when she heard Gemma’s words. After a while, she growled in fury, “She’s so shameless!”
Gemma’s daring act had enraged Myra, causing the latter to suddenly wrap her arms around Tony’s neck and pull him down to her. She bit on his lips hard, as if she was marking the man to claim her territory.
Her sudden actions caused Tony to fall into a fleeting daze. When he finally returned to his senses, a peculiar gleam flashed across his eyes and he captured her lips with his.
Myra, who had snuggled up to him, allowed herself to lie above him when he caught her lips.
Gemma must be dreaming! She actually planned to hook up with my man when I’m pregnant? Myra’s eyes were glowing with fury but deep within, she was disdainful of Gemma. She thinks that I can’t satisfy my man when I’m pregnant? Then, her daring thought gave her a fright. When she finally returned to her senses, Tony had already let go of her.
His eyes were dark and bottomless and they were filled with a sincere smile. He suddenly pecked her lips and chuckled. “You were jealous, weren’t you?”
Myra snorted and glared at the video in dissatisfaction. Gemma is really annoying! My man’s attitude toward her was rather rude, yet she still made a shameless request by asking me to leave Tony!
She bit her lip as she mumbled, “I wasn’t jealous because I know that you won’t fall for other women.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Confident, eh?”
“You said that yourself!”
Tony chuckled and pressed her head against his chest. “Don’t worry about Gemma’s matter. I know what to do to resolve this issue.”
“By using the video earlier?” Myra pondered over it and continued, “Will your plan go smoothly?”
“Are you doubting me?” He raised a brow.
“It’s not like that.” She shook her head. A lot of things had happened lately and it caused her to feel on edge all the time. It was as if there was always something else waiting for them after they resolved one thing, and it was very annoying.
“Will Gemma leave after this?” she asked again.
After all, the video had been posted. Soon, all sorts of suspicions and rumors would begin to spread, and there was no telling on what action the Walton Family would take against them.
The Walton Family is really useless. They had agreed to send Gemma away from here to avoid escalating the matter. Yet, they condoned her doing this sort of thing!
Myra was quite irritable these days, which might possibly be due to her pregnancy.
She rolled around in his arms but failed to calm down, so Tony patted her back and whispered, “Gemma won’t be able to leave this time.”
His voice was gentle but Myra was able to hear the coldness within, and she knew him well enough to know that he would not be soft-hearted and let Gemma off the hook this time; it would be the exact opposite this time, as that woman had really angered him.
A complex feeling washed over Myra as she played with Tony’s slender fingers. For some reason, Gemma could never understand that every time she kicked up a fuss, she would only send herself deeper into the abyss. Yet, she insisted on making more trouble over and over again.
“I’m tired.” One minute Myra felt tense and the next she felt relieved; the rapidly changing turns of events made her feel sleepy.
She hugged Tony’s waist and refused to let go, and he had no intention to ask her to do so as well. He only had her change her position so that she could sleep more comfortably.
When Leo entered the ward, Myra had already fallen asleep and Tony was handling company-related matters.
He darted a look at Myra before softly saying to Tony, “Director Hart, regarding the next steps…”
“You can handle everything that is going to happen tomorrow; I’m sure you know what you should say,” Tony instructed calmly.
Leo straightened his back and hummed in response, feeling a little excited as he couldn’t wait to see the Walton Family being humiliated.
…
With regard to the video incident, Myra had misunderstood the Walton Family this time—the Walton Family did not encourage Gemma’s actions; it was done of her own will.
When the Walton Family saw the video and learnt about the incident from the person-in-charge of the magazine, they were dumbfounded. They were totally clueless about the incident. When they saw the video that was posted online and the article that the magazine had published under Gemma’s instruction, they felt as if their entire world went dark.
Gemma’s emotions had been unstable due to the incidents that happened recently, so it was normal for her to do something extreme. However, the question here was how she managed to get hold of the video. At that time, she blacked out after the accident, so she shouldn’t have any way to obtain the video from the Hart Family. Nevertheless, the most pressing matter now was to resolve the issue. Now that the video had been posted online and unanimous voices of condemnation against Tony had risen on the Internet, how were they going to calm the Hart Family’s wrath?
First of all, the Walton Family had to deny to the Hart Family that the video was posted by them. Hence, Old Master Walton swallowed his pride and gave Sebastian a call. However, when the latter picked up the call, he sneered at the former, “Old Master Walton, I had the intention to resolve the issue regarding the accident but I never expected that the Walton Family would be so insincere. Your actions behind our backs seemed to be different from what you revealed to us on the surface. Not only did you post the video online, you even threatened my granddaughter-in-law to abort my great-grandson. Do you really think that the Hart Family is someone you can easily mess with?”
